Happy Bath

Here's some pictures of our precious lil froggie's first bath.


And here he is looking a lot like this older sister, the ducky. I love these lil critters!!

Happy Mother's Day

I couldn't ask for more than the love of these two little munchkins on Mother's Day... but the homemade breakfast and flowers that George got me helped make the day perfect too! :) I'm one lucky lady!

Growing Boy

On Monday, Bailey had his 2 week check up and weighed in at 8 lbs 14 oz and measured 21.5 inches... meaning that in 2 weeks he gained a pound and grew and inch! Good boy! It feels like he is changing so much everyday and already feels rounder and looks fuller to me. But he is still just as sweet!!

Surgery Day

On Thursday Ainsley had outpatient surgery on her left eye to insert a stint in her tear duct so that her tears would drain properly into her nasal canal (before her left eye was always weepy). It was a quick, fairly routine procedure but she had to have anesthesia and be checked into the surgical center for the day so George and I were pretty nervous about it. But thankfully as far as the doctors can tell the procedure was successful. On Thursday Ainsley was disoriented and uncomfortable from the anesthesia but yesterday was for the most part back to her old self. The stint will stay in her tear duct for 8 weeks to allow her body to adjust before being removed during an office visit. Here is our sweet girl looking so cute in her hospital gown. She was such a trooper and so was Bailey.


Below is George attempting to keep Ainsley entertained before her surgery. She couldn't eat or drink anything all morning and the surgery didn't start until 11am so she was pretty grumpy and hungry towards the end.


As I mentioned before, George and I have been anxious about this day for months so I am so happy that it is over and that everything appeared to go smoothly. Again, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Grandma Time

I naively thought that I would have Bailey closer to his actual due date and so my mom graciously flew down the first week of April and stayed with us until this past Saturday. I cannot even begin to explain how much her visit and help meant to us since that last week of pregnancy left me much too tired, grumpy, and uncomfortable to take care of my family and then once Bailey arrived, my hands were full with recovery, getting to know this lil guy, and getting used to a family of four. Her help and support was immensely appreciated and it makes me tear up just thinking about all she did for us. I even asked Dad if we could keep her... but he said not a chance!

George and I weren't the only ones who benefited from her visit. Ainsley quickly became her lil buddy and helper. Every morning they made banana soy smoothies together while the rest of us slept, and every afternoon they played with puppets, read special stories, and had tea parties. It makes me so happy to see them share these special moments and create these memories. Here they are making pizzas for dinner. Ainsley loved slapping the dough.



And here's Grandma with the lil Mr., who is an equally adoring fan!


We love you Mom/Grandma! Come back soon!

Sleeping Grump

How could you not love that sweet grumpy face.

Sticker Nose Family

I really wanted a nice family Easter picture... but with Ainsley being under the weather, we didn't get one. But a few days later we did get this family shot! Ainsley was having a blast putting her Easter stickers on our noses. It doesn't capture us all dressed up... but I wouldn't trade it! :)
